Crematogaster (Crematogaster).

Either Crematogaster cerasi or Crematogaster lineolata. Morphological characteristics of the queens of the two species are near identical and cannot be certainly differentiated.

Looks like Monomorium Minimum, what's the approximate size of it? and what type of area was it found in?

As the previous user mentioned, following the ID Template is critical to a successful ID.

It looks like crematogaster the most, but it could also be camponotus. Though, don't take my word for it, as I am not very good at ids.


“You’ll survive” -wise man.
Currently keeping:
Brachymyrmex patagonicus

Solenopsis invicta

Crematogaster sp.

Definitely Crematogaster. Nice find.
